    A few shots from the exposure.... exposure.... which side would you call this?
    These shots don't do the LDH lays justice. There's a LOT of hose out there to be picked up. Glad everyone is OK!

    I finished it last night, more or less. There are a few more very minor details that I have to complete, but for the most part it's done.

    I like how the article quotes a DC Fire Department spokesman. Niether airport is in DC (both are in Virginia, Arlinton Cty and Fairfax County respectfully) nor covered by the DC Fire Department (ARFF ia provided by the Metro Washington Airports Authority).

    All,
    The EMTBravo staff tries to be objective and fair and the site administrators have counseled the staff to moderate fairly and impartially. The staff enjoys the way this site enables a variety of people to engage in thought provoking discussions, share ideas or experiences, and promote doing our jobs the right way. We believe in equal application of the rules to all members and enforce them only as necessary.
    We have reviewed the situation involving an active member of this site and based upon our findings, the member did violate forum rules and after what became a heated exchange with members of the staff, he was banned. This member has since acknowledged that he did in fact violate forum rules and has apologized. It is not in dispute that these issues existed and that this member is responsible for them.
    1. The member had and used multiple screen names.
    2. The member was approached by a staff member regarding this and denied it.
    3. Later confronted with e-mail and IP addresses and other evidence that this was in fact all the same person, the member conceded that it was him.
    4. While using these alternate screen names other forum rules concerning agency bashing were violated.
    5. After all this came to light, the member posted personal attacks and extremely derogatory comments directed at the staff of this site, another violation of EMTBravo policy.
    As a result of the foregoing, this member was banned. Several other members carried the proverbial torch and violated forum rules and were also banned.
    It is this member’s right to complain about EMTBravo to friends and peers and to vent his frustration with the staff however it serves no purpose when these friends or colleagues log in and under the guise of supporting him, violate forum rules themselves.
    Some of these “brothers” are now engaging in what can only be described as harassment via e-mail and other means. This is unwarranted and inappropriate and should cease immediately. There is no reason to respond with open hostility and/or veiled threats to any member or staff.
    If anyone has a question or concern about this situation, please address it via PM or e-mail. We will respond to any reasonable inquiry but will not engage in a debate about the merits of this case or the actions that have already been taken. It must be noted that the member in question has himself requested that this behavior be discontinued.
    As a matter of policy, we do not discuss member issues publicly or engage in debates about moderation actions. However, the staff is also sensitive to the fact that this is a personal and emotionally charged issue and that is why a public response is being posted.
    This is a membership based forum and it is impossible to please everyone or prevent people's feelings from being hurt when opposing points of view or opinions are exchanged. We must not take it personally or respond defensively when someone posts a differing point of view. Be open-minded, listen to your fellow members' opinions, and respond calmly and defend your position with facts and not rhetoric. This will eliminate the need for the staff to intervene and allow the debate to evolve productively.
    Thank you for your support of and involvement with EMTBravo.
    Respectfully,
    The EMTBravo Staff

    Is it true the Brooklyn RMPs are getting a model that also belts out Jay-Z...
    Kidding aside; it sounds like a definite safety improvement. Good move NYPD.

    The first of the five new Ferrara rescues being constructed for FDNY is finished and will be assigned to Rescue 5. Here are a few photos of it on display at the Long Island Fire, Rescue & EMS Mega Show, which is going on this weekend at Nassau Coliseum. My apologies for the "cluttered" and blurry shots. Was very difficult to get a good shot with all the people around, and a "point and shoot" job doesn't always get along with sub-par lighting situations. But, until the rig is delivered and the "experts" get access to it, these will have to do.

    I'm just going to request every trailer at our next run... doesn't matter what it is, auto alarm or cat in a tree. If I ask for them, they'll have to come right?
